OT - local HS asks rec league to change schedule

Just thought I'd mention this since it's the off season. Our local kids rec league goes from 3rd grade thru HS. This past season, our rec league had 20 HS boys teams and 6 HS girls teams, which means we had about 260 HS kids in our program out of a total of around 1000 kids in the program. We play all our HS games on Friday nights (at middle school gyms). The AD at the HS contacted our Board president and wanted to know if we could move our HS games to a different night or possibly during the day on Saturdays. Apparently, he thinks that if we did this, a lot of our kids would then attend the regular HS home games that are played on Friday nights which would help their effort to boost attendance. We're having a meeting with him, his HS coaches and the district facilities manager in a few weeks.

We took a survey of all our HS players and their parents and less than 10 said they "might" attend more regular HS games if that was the case. I don't think that's the number the HS was looking for. It would cause some problems for us to "switch" because the MS gyms are not as readily available on other nights plus some of our HS players also ref little kids games for us on Saturdays, so if their games were also on that day, it would not work out very well. We don't want to move the "little kids" to night games so the only option would be to move the MS kids to night games. We used to do that but got a lot of push back from MS parents and our registration numbers went down.

Any thoughts you might have would be greatly appreciated.
